HOW TO PLAY
1

Players sit in a circle around a small mat placed in the middle.

2

Each player takes a turn tossing several small stones into the air and catching as many as possible on the back of their hand.

3

Stones that stay balanced on the hand are then tossed once more and must be caught in the palm.

4

The number of stones successfully caught in that combined toss becomes the player's score for the round.

5

Players compare scores after an agreed number of turns, and the highest total wins.
